Majlis

killing of Shias in the metropolis and country as well.During the sit-in, MA
Jinnah Road remained block, the MWM has announced that Friday will be observed
as a day of protest against the targeted murders of Shias and an unjustifiable
crackdown on Shias in Karachi.

The
funeral prayers of Nisar and Bilal, who were killed on Wednesday in North Karachi
and Kharadar areas, were held at the Numaish Chowrangi after Zohr prayer, and
buried in Wad-e-Hussain graveyard. However, the Namaz-e-Janaza of Zahid
Hussain, a resident of Jafferia Colony, Golimar, was held after Maghrabain at
the same venue, while his dead body was taken to Wad-e-Hussain graveyard for
burial.Allama Hassan Zafar Naqvi, central spokesman of MWM, while talking to
reporters at Mehfil Shah-e-Khorasan Road, announced that Friday would be
observed as a day of protest against the targeted murders of Shias and an
unjustifiable crackdown on Shias.

The
MWM leaders Allama Mirza Yousuf Hussain, Allama Aftab Haider Jafri, Maulana
Sadiq Raza Taqvi, Asif Safvi and Maulana Muhammad Hussain Karimi were also
present. “In first phase, protests will be held outside the mosques after
Friday prayers. In second phase, the protest will be expanded to country level
and in final decisive phase, protest will be staged outside the government
headquarters and the USZ embassy,” Allama Zafar said.He said seven Shias were
killed in targeted attacks during last 24 hours. He said that some state
institutions patronise the terrorists who are the agents of the United States
and Israel.

He
said that targeted murders of Shias had been increased in the wake of a
peaceful protest that Shias staged outside the USZ Consulate against the
blasphemous anti-Islam film. He said that enemies of Islam and Muslims were
trying to divert public attention from worldwide Muslims’ reaction to the
profane movie by targeted murders of Shias.“In a bid to defame Islam and
Muslims, banned terrorist groups sabotaged Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool (SAWW) by arson
and attacks on public properties,” he said, adding that the USZ embassy and
consulates were directly involved in these plots.

He
said that on one hand, terrorists were killing innocent Shias and on the other,
police failed to arrest the culprits. Instead, police have launched a crackdown
on Shia youths. In particular, SSP District Central Captain Asim Qaim Khani
proved him a biased official and he has got training from the USZ. He said that
SSP Central had given a free hand to terrorists. He said that police misbehaved
with women during raids on the houses.The MWM officials demanded the government
to take action against the corrupt, dishonest and biased officials of the
police and punish the terrorists responsible for targeted murders.

They
demanded that the USZ Consular General Michael Dodman, IGP Sindh and DIG South
should be punished for the murder of Syed Ali Raza Taqvi who was shot dead
outside the USZ Consulate while he was registering a peaceful protest.They
demanded an end to the ongoing genocide of Shias. They demanded that those
terrorists of outlawed outfits involved in sabotage of Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool
(SAWW) should be punished. They warned that if police and rangers do not stop
crackdown on Shias, they will stage sit-ins outside the police and
administration’s offices in all over Sindh. They said that protest could be
continued till the USZ ambassador was not expelled.
